Upper School - Grades 9-12

The Center’s high school program is a best match for students who need a small, supportive, full-time setting in order to successfully engage on a variety of levels to achieve their academic potential. Sheltered and intensive, this powerful program provides an important safety net of expert supervision and guidance that gets students on the right track whether their goal is a high school diploma or completion of college preparatory classes. It is an ideal place for pursuing academic interests that may not be served by the traditional high school curriculum. Students may also choose an accelerated academic program for early graduation or opt for college preparation through a demanding online course of instruction.

The high school program offers two options: CLU Essentials (diploma) and CLU E-learning (post-secondary/college-bound). CLU Essentials is a core curriculum that addresses California BASIC (or FAPE) standards. CLU E-learning is a program for students who have their sights set on attending UC/CSU upon graduation. Courses are highly flexible and completely individualized.

Upper School Curriculum

The Center offers quality high school courses in uniquely adaptable small class settings to meet the individual needs of our students. Ours is a dynamic and challenging curriculum that builds in students the skills necessary to work confidently and successfully toward high school graduation and personal growth. Concept mastery is assessed in a variety of ways, from traditional tests and essays, to oral or visual presentations. It is our goal to prepare students for their next journey, whether they will be off to college, trade school or employment.

Advanced Placement and Honors courses are available for juniors and seniors who want a more rigorous college prep experience. Career and college counseling is available beginning in the freshman year.

CLU Essentials curriculum meets California high school graduation and/or Student IEP requirements and addresses FAPE. CLU E-Learning courses offer added enrichment for the student who plans to attend UC/CSU upon graduation.
